About our worktop repair in Whelley
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for chips in quartz or granite and gouges in the surface, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Whelley questions
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally. Send us a photo and we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Whelley.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep joints and edges dry
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Whelley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
